Arley Arboretum & Gardens

Near Bewdley, Worcestershire

‘Arley Arboretum is one of the oldest Arboretums in Great Britain. Tucked away in the beautiful countryside of the Worcestershire and Shropshire borders near Bewdley, it boasts more than 300 species of trees in formal and informal plantings and gardens. The collection includes many rare and spectacular domestic and exotic trees. Nestling in the Severn Valley and overlooking the river, it has been growing and maturing in this idyllic setting for two centuries.

The arboretum has been open to the public since 2002. There is ample parking, and there are facilities for picnics and a tea room.’
